Frankford Arsenal Platinum Hand Deprimer (.20 to .338 Lapua)

Description

Sometimes you just need to knock the primers out of a handful of cases and setting up the press feels like overkill. That's where this Frankford Arsenal Platinum Hand Deprimer earns its spot. It's a handheld tool that pops spent primers from fired brass in four simple steps, so you can prep cases from the couch, at the range between stages, or anywhere else you'd rather not be tied to a bench.

The heart of the tool is the patented Universal Collet System, which handles brass from .20 caliber all the way up to .338 Lapua. It ships with three different collets to cover a range of case diameters, and it works on pistol brass, rifle brass, and even stubborn military crimped primers. The whole thing is built from robust die-cast aluminum with a full-length ergonomic grip, so it's got real heft and holds up to repeated use.

How the Platinum Hand Deprimer Keeps Things Clean

Spent primers go straight into a removable collection tube that captures them as you work, so you're not chasing little cups across the floor. When it fills up, you twist it off and dump it. The tube holds a solid batch of primers at a time, which means fewer interruptions during a case prep session.

What Makes the Platinum Deprimer Worth Keeping Around

The spring-loaded handle returns the collet to the start position on its own, and an auto-ejecting case holder spits out the deprimed case so you can keep moving. It ships with the standard .08 inch decapping pin, which is replaceable if you ever need to swap one in. Reloaders who've put it to work tend to describe it as heavy, well built, and smooth to run once you've got the collet seated right. It's a handy addition for small-batch depriming or for anyone who likes to separate case prep from the rest of their loading routine.
